Several alerts issued by different countries for the same subjects may sometimes occur. It is essential that this does not cause confusion to end-users, and that it is clear to them what measures must be taken when seeking to enter an alert and which procedure shall be followed when a hit occurs. Procedures shall therefore be established for detecting multiple alerts, as shall a priority mechanism for entering them into the SIS II.

This calls for:

• checks before entering an alert, in order to determine whether the subject is already in the SIS II,

• consultation with the other Member States, when the entry of an alert causes multiple alerts that are incompatible.
